In Oakland’s thriving innovation economy, workspace is all about creating environments where ideas collide and partnerships form. STAK Space has redefined the concept of coworking by blending premium workspace amenities with versatile event facilities at 1900 Broadway and 1950 Franklin designed to power Oakland’s tech and creative communities. Discover why Oakland’s Top Tech Talent Chooses STAK Space powered by STAK Ventures.

 

Designed for Connection and Collaboration

At the core of STAK Space’s offering is an intentional design that facilitates both focused work and meaningful interaction. The open floor plan features ergonomic workstations with adjustable seating to accommodate long working sessions, while soundproof phone booths provide privacy for calls or deep concentration. High-speed fiber internet runs throughout the facility, ensuring seamless connectivity for teams working with large files or running bandwidth-intensive applications.

What truly distinguishes STAK Space is its commitment to creating spaces that adapt to professional needs throughout the workday. Members transition effortlessly from individual workstations to collaborative lounge areas, then into private meeting rooms equipped with state-of-the-art presentation technology. The thoughtful layout encourages natural interactions while maintaining options for privacy when needed.

 

Event Spaces Built for Impact

STAK Space’s event venues represent Oakland’s most flexible gathering solutions for tech and creative professionals. The main event hall features a modular design that can transform from theater-style seating for any size from large groups to intimate roundtable configurations for workshops and breakout sessions. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light while maintaining professional acoustics for clear presentations.

For more exclusive gatherings, the executive boardroom offers a refined setting with built-in video conferencing capabilities, making it ideal for investor meetings or strategic planning sessions. The space includes seamless tech integration and high-fidelity audio equipment to ensure hybrid participants enjoy the same experience as in-person attendees.

As home to Startup Grind Oakland, STAK Space has become synonymous with high-value programming in the East Bay tech community. The venue regularly hosts pitch nights, panel discussions, and skill-building workshops that bring together Oakland’s most innovative minds. The professional-grade AV system and livestreaming capabilities allow events to reach global audiences while maintaining the energy of an in-person gathering.

 

Amenities That Elevate the Work Experience

Beyond its physical spaces, STAK Space provides amenities designed to support professionals throughout their workday. The lounge areas feature comfortable seating configurations that encourage informal meetings and creative brainstorming. A dedicated makerspace provides tools for prototyping and hands-on collaboration, appealing to hardware startups and design-focused creators.

Members enjoy access to premium services including professional mail handling and onsite tech support at both 1900 Broadway and 1950 Franklin. The space also offers secure bike storage and shower facilities for those commuting to Oakland’s Uptown district. Located just two blocks from the 19th Street BART station, STAK Space’s location provides seamless access for professionals traveling across the Bay Area.
